Hi im in 2 minds about what I should do, I have a lot of storage needs and was considering building a mini server perhaps a atom or zordiac rigg and fill it up with some 2tbs, perhaps have it act as a download/server running 24/7 and definatly put it in another room to minimize noise.
Also im getting tired of a noisy/whiney 24/7 pc in my room too many hdds/and 4870 would do that! was considering a powerful yet more effecient SFF like an acer revo or asrock ion or build one for hardcore surfing/hd/music playback.
But my issue is gaming... I play sometimes and now COD is out, id rather not run an expensive rigg like a quad with high end graphics, so im back to square one perhaps id just be better off building 1 quiet giant pc with lots of 2tbs and having it act as an all in one to save electricity and cost and move it into another room and invest in usb/hdmi over ethernet extenders?
Has anyone else considered rather then having 2-3 pcs running just have 1, perhaps after all it makes sense just too have one powerful system handle everything ?
